Good GitHub alternatives?
Good GitHub alternatives?
Im probably not going to switch anytime soon (ive been on GH for over 10 years now), but I wonder if there is something like a Github Alternative?
With all the takedowns (open source or otherwise) occurring lately, I would rather like my code to be somewhere safe-ish.
Codeberg is pretty good, or if you want to self host, Gitea
Ive seen a couple people recommend Gitea. I might give it a shot.
First time ive heard of Codeberg. Thanks!

Am I out of the loop? Were there any big controversial takedowns recently?
Minecraft's modding ecosystem was a big one, quite awhile ago, now.
I think folks are expecting some action against popular emulators, with Nintendo going lawsuit happy.
Nintendo took down quite a few smaller repos too. And links to the Link remaster project. Plus the app Tachiyomi Extensions. Ive just been noticing 2023-2024 has had an increase of code removals. Github is very public now, and any repo that circumvents any kind of hardware/software restrictions is getting more scrutiny.
+1 for Codeberg.
Sourcehut is interesting too, but its workflow is different from GitHub.It's also pretty easy to use multiple remotes. I have a github, a gitlab and a codeberg remote in many of the repos I have on my local machine. One short shell script to pull and push from all of them at the same time, and I barely notice the difference
I do that with a couple of essential repos with GitLab. GitLab has been a bit slow lately and I kinda want to find other alternatives (hence the post).
I'm case a reader wants some extra fuel:
Best alternatives:
Self-hosted:
Other alternatives:
- Bitbucket
- Launchpad
- SourceForge I do not recommend this one, but I put it anyway.
